Tribble Bomb from Evan Lorentz (07/19/2000)

See picture of Tribble Bomb.

 

Here's a special brand of treachery unique to Barry Waddle - stuffing a bomb into a Tribble. At any location where you have a group of tribbles and Barry Waddle, you can set a cute, but nasty trap. Three turns later, if the bomb has not been discovered, it kills any one personnel present of your choice.

Although primarily a way of "getting back" at Captain Kirk in the Hero of the Empire mechanic, the Tribble Bomb can actually be used more generally. You could plant one on your opponent's facility or ship (perhaps amidst a crew trapped under the influence of Cytherians), or on a mission he's likely to attempt. You could leave Morn a special gift on his stool in Quark’s Bar, or arrange for a terrible accident while Visiting the Cochrane Memorial. After all, small numbers of Tribbles can show up anywhere. Your Tribble Bomb can be close behind.

Combos:

  • Tribble Bomb + Trouble in the Transporters: The Bomb can't normally be carried like a Tribble, but a little Trouble's the remedy for that. Your opponent will have a hard time escaping the Bomb when it follows him around.
  • Tribble Bomb + Disruptor Overload: Even though tricorders have only a 50/50 chance of uncovering the Tribble Bomb amidst a pile of Tribbles, why take that chance?
